Overall Ford reliability, although a new model, read lots on their QA/QC work to get this vehicle just right

Other than regular maintenance, I have had no issues with the Edge.

Not yet established. Previous Ford experience not favorable.

This is the 10th car I have owned. I have always driven (except one car)foreign vehicles-primarily Honda's. I'm used to driving until at least 200,000+ miles with no major problems aside from normal wear/tear & minor maintenance issues (timing belts, brakes, alternators, starters, etc.)Although my Ford Edge is my all time favorite vehicle for styling, options, & comfort, it is also my biggest disappointment as far as reliability. I have poured over $3000+ into this vehicle in the last 2 1/2 years I have owned it & it only has 86,000 miles on it. It was purchased used, but was owned by the dealers maintenance mgrs son & was a certified pre-owned car. My check engine light still comes on periodically, my tail lights still burn out way too often with no explanation of the melted sockets, & the front end has unexplained knocking. I love it, but will trade it in if the problems continue.

Considering that I have just had to put my car in the repair shop at less than 36,000 miles...Not very reliable nor dependable!

This is my 10th and most favorite vehicle I have ever owned... with the exception of one itty bitty thing. I have poured over $3000+ into this baby in the last 2.5 yrs! It only has 88,000 miles on it! I guess I have been spoiled by always owning Honda's where I drove 200,000+ miles before any major problems started occurring, but the Edge has been a HUGE disappointment in this area. I'm still dealing with an electrical issue (which many people online have reported same issues with taillights burning out every couple months & melted sockets) but Ford hasn't issued a recall & I believe is the root to issues with my coils going out, my computer being fried, & several other mysterious COSTLY problems that Ford acts like I'm the only person on the planet that these things have happened to. I'm very car savvy & maintain cars well, but the types of issues I've had are unacceptable.

My car has 45,000 miles on it, and I haven't done anything to it but the scheduled maintenence.

Beginning 1,000 miles after I took delivery, I had problems with entry access and recognition of key that took 4 times back at the dealer before they were resolved. The problems did get resolved on the 4th time back permanently, and since then the car has been trouble free.
